To simplify the ratio 16:24, we can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of both numbers and divide both numbers by it. The GCD of 16 and 24 is 8. When we divide both numbers by 8, we get the simplified ratio of 2:3. Therefore, the correct answer is D, 2:3.
To solve the proportion x/2 = 8/9, we can cross-multiply and solve for x. Cross-multiplying means multiplying the numerator of one fraction with the denominator of the other:
x * 9 = 2 * 8
9x = 16
To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by 9:
x = 16/9
So, the answer is D, 36/9 simplified to 4.
